Our Holy Fathers Julius and Julian.

Commemorated June 21 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion

From the Prologue

Greek-born brothers, they were brought up from their youth in the Christian
faith, and vowed to live in perpetual virginity and the service of the Church.
Julius was a priest and Julian a deacon. They received an imperial decree from
the Emperor Theodosius the Younger to destroy the idols throughout the whole
Empire and build Christian churches. Like two apostles, these two brothers turned
pagans intoChristians in the East and the West, and built a hundred churches
during their lifetime. They entered peacefully into the Lord's rest near Milan,
the inhabitants of which city invoke St Julius's help against wolves.
